xfdashboard, greybird theme and xfdesktop-4.11.4 (COPR)

I have built the latest versions of xfdashboard (0.1.5), greybird theme (1.3.3) and submitted for update. They should be available in updates-testing very soon. Please test and add karma.

Unofficial Packages

Xfdesktop-4.11.4 was released today. See the original email announcing the release here.

This builds without problems locally and so I have submitted a COPR build for the same. Once the build is completed, xfdesktop-4.11.4 should be available as an update for Fedora 20 and Rawhide. Again, please send me an email with any bugs/crashes noticed.

Release notes for 4.11.4
========================
[Please note that this is a development release.]
Fifth development release of xfdesktop targeting for Xfce 4.12.
Please report all problems at bugzilla.xfce.org.
* Versioned help:
- Point to the docs.xfce.org page for xfdesktop 4.11. (Bug 10736)
* Build errors with some compiler flags:
- dbus-glib is now required. Since xfconf requires it and
xfconf is already required for xfdesktop, this shouldn't
change dependancies much for xfdesktop. This bug was reported
and fixed by Samuli Suominen. (Bug 10745)
- Another build failure when disabling the menu and requiring
exo was also resolved.
* Icon changes in the settings app:
- Symbolic icons have issues with some gtk2 themes where they
don't get colored properly. Additionally some themes don't
have network-fs or gnome-dev-network so it has been changed
gtk-network.
* Right click edits launchers:
- When performing a right click, or shift + left click, on an item
in the applications sub-menu of the desktop menu it will now pop
up the dialog to edit the launcher. Same as xfce4-appfinder.
* Better migration from previous versions:
- Xfdesktop now does a better job of migrating any user settings
from 4.10 and before to the new xfconf properties.
- Fix an settings issue when plug names aren't available
* Clean up some user strings:
- Some tooltips end with a period, some do not. This has been
unified.
- "You are using more than one display, move this dialog to the
display you want to edit the settings for." This takes a lot of
space and brings along a bit of redundancy. Changed to "Move this
dialog to the display you want to edit the settings for."
- "Other items" on the third tab, below removable devices: "devices"
replaces "items".
Thanks to Harald Judt for pointing these issues out.
* Remember the window size of the settings dialog
- Patch written by Harald Judt.
* Fix segfault on session start
- Patch written by Thaddaus Tintenfisch
* Miscellaneous bug fixes:
- Iconview theme/gtkrc color/style issues resolved.
- Issues with folder cover art not loading have been fixed.
- Make xfdesktop-settings pluggable again (Bug 10714)
- Update the wallpapers after user sets folder in the settings
app.
- Minimize grid resizes, it now won't recalculate icon positions
if the grid size didn't actually change.
- Memory leaks fixed.
- Warnings that happened during runtime have been fixed.
- Fix a crash when removing displays
- Show add/remove workspace option is on by default
* Translation updates: Bulgarian (bg), Chinese (Taiwan) (zh_TW),
Croatian (hr), Danish (da), German (de), English (Australia) (en_AU),
French (fr), Italian (it), Japanese (ja), Korean (ko), Malay (ms),
Russian (ru), Serbian (sr), Spanish (Castilian) (es), Thai (th)

Spyder 3 was released sometime back and the latest version 3.1.0 was released yesterday. I have working on updating Spyder to 3.x for sometime now. Towards this effort, I got the following packages reviewed and included in Fedora - python-QtPypython-QtAwesomepython-flitpython-entrypointspython-nbconvertpython-entrypointspython-pickleshare
In addition to this, the package python-ipykernel had to be reviewed. This was completed sometime towards the end of last year.
Now that all the packages are available (in different forms), I have put together a COPR repo where spyder 3.1.0 package resides. I would like to get these packages tested before I submit it as a big update to Fedora 25.
COPR repo is here - nonamedotc/spyder3 - COPR repo
Of course, this repo can be directly enabled from a terminal - dnf copr enable nonamedotc/spyder3
To install spyder along with ipython console from this repo, do

Ever since Fedora 24 was released, I have been looking at new themes for use with Xfce that are not completely broken with GTK 3.20. I have tried several themes and since several of them had to be compiled (not copy/paste to ~/.themes), I have packaged those I have tried so far.
